[edit] Don Hoey's review

With a large scope ( Nikon ED82A ) this head is significantly better in overall performance than any lower priced fluid head that I have tried. The scope mounting plate gives less bounce when used with a camera and being of a dovetail design is about as positive as you can get. This head is probably only bettered by heads costing twice as much. (y) (y)
